THE DIARY OF AN OLD SOUL   by   GEORGE MACDONALD    &                           THE WHITE PAGE DIARY   by   BETTY ABERLIN
 

Betty Aberlin, a native New Yorker of Russian-Jewish ancestry, raised in post-Holocaust orthodox atheism and nurtured in the arts, responded to MacDonald’s invitation with daily poems of her own. Following the strict poetic form of The Diary of an Old Soul was an illuminating experience. In her own 7-line, 3-rhyme, 10-syllable pattern, Aberlin creates a unique mixture of recurring themes and images. Her vision is fresh and honest, revealing a keen observation of nature and human nature – from the exhilarations of faith, hope and love to the despairs of war, rejection and failure. Here is a contemporary poetic  voice who opens additional paths into spiritual reflection. 

 Betty's acting life has included musical theater, television and film.

GEORGE MACDONALD
LITERARY HERITAGE AND HEIRS
Now Available   It has been 15 years since Roderick McGillis edited For the Childlike, a landmark collection of essays about George MacDonald’s writings. This latest collection of 14 essays sets a new standard that will influence scholars for many more years. George MacDonald experts are increasingly evaluating his entire corpus within the nineteenth century context. This volume provides further evidence that MacDonald will eventually emerge from the restrictive and somewhat misleading reputation of being C.S. Lewis’ spiritual “master.”

UNLOCKING HARRY POTTER        &       THE HIDDEN KEY TO HARRY POTTER

                                         by   JOHN GRANGER

 

John has spoken about the meaning of the Potter books in settings as diverse as your local Barnes and Noble bookstore, an elite secondary school and church community in Houston, and an academic 'fan-cons' about Harry at Disney World in Florida and in Los Vegas. His talk on 'Alchemy in English Literature' at Nimbus 2003 was voted best presentation of the 67 academic papers and boards given during the four day conference and was published in the November, 2003, issue of Touchstone magazine as The Alchemist's Tale. Among 190 "spin-off" books on Harry Potter, Unlocking Harry Potter was highlighted in the May 10, 2007 issue of The Wall Street Journal.

Various groups want John to speak both because of what he has to say and how he says it. His expertise in traditional literature and the Harry Potter books allows him to speak at depth about the meaning of the books and Potter mania. His charity and wit makes his common sense observations as engaging as they are challenging and stimulating.  In the summer of 2007 John will be a featured speaker in conventions in Philadelphia, Toronto, and London.
